The tiger and leopard cavalry can also be regarded as a famous cavalry corps under Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The tiger and leopard cavalry has always been commanded by the Cao generals, which shows its importance, and the cavalry in the tiger and leopard cavalry are all sharp in the world, or from the hundred generals to make up, its elite can be seen.
This tiger and leopard cavalry has also fought several tough battles in history, such as the ninth year of Jian'an, in the battle of Nanpi with Yuan Tan, Cao Chundu tiger and leopard cavalry surrounded Nanpi and attacked Yuan Tan urgently, Yuan Tan was killed by the cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry in the battle.
In the twelfth year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao went north to conquer Wuhuan, it was Cao Chun who led the tiger and leopard to ride on the battlefield and cut off the head of Wuhuan Shan Yu Dun, and in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Chun conquered Jingzhou, chased Liu Bei in Changbanpo, won the weight of his second daughter, and collected his scattered pawns, which can be seen that it was also the tiger and leopard who chased Liu Bei before the battle of Chibi and almost collapsed.
There is also the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought, first with light soldiers to provoke it, the battle for a long time, is the tiger cavalry pincer attack, the big break, this can be regarded as a tough battle between the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Xiliang cavalry.
However, according to Zhu Wei's speculation, it is very likely that the tiger and leopard cavalry was formed on the basis of Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, and the surrender of Zhang He and Gao Lan's Yuan Shao cavalry.
In fact, even after Cao Cao unified the Central Plains, the number of this tiger and leopard cavalry was not much, and the heyday should be Cao Cao's Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, with a scale of about 10,000 horses.
After the Battle of Wuhuan, the tiger and leopard cavalry seemed to maintain a scale of about five or six thousand cavalry, until the later period gradually lost this cavalry establishment.
The reason for the end of such a strong cavalry army is likely to be the lack of war horses and the cost is too great to raise.
It is said that the tiger and leopard cavalry may be divided into two formations, the tiger cavalry is a heavy cavalry, and the leopard cavalry is the light cavalry that pursues, and the war horses required by the heavy cavalry are naturally very demanding, and it is not easy to choose and satisfy, and the light cavalry has a lot of losses on the war horses, so it is difficult to find enough war horses to meet the needs of the tiger and leopard cavalry during the Three Kingdoms period.
Although the war horses of the Three Kingdoms period already had simple stirrups and saddles, there were no horseshoes, so after the horseshoe of the war horse was damaged, the war horse could not continue to be used, which was very great for the loss of the war horse.
In addition, although theoretically speaking, cavalry can play a very important role in warfare, but during the Three Kingdoms period, the food of ordinary soldiers may not be guaranteed, let alone big-bellied war horses.
War horses don't just eat grass to fight, sometimes they eat better than the food of ordinary soldiers.
But during the Three Kingdoms period, in order to feed the soldiers, they had to kill horses to satisfy their hunger, and compared with people, horses were just animals after all.
It is estimated that it is also because of this price, that is, Cao Cao knew that his tiger and leopard riders were strong, but he could only control the number of tiger and leopard riders, and the Cao Wei Dynasty after Cao ** canceled the establishment of tiger and leopard riders.
It can be said that the main type of troops during the Three Kingdoms period was infantry, and cavalry could only be regarded as an expensive auxiliary force, and it was the type that was dispatched at a critical time.
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, generals like Zhao Yun, who was born in Bai Ma Yicong, and Ma Chao, who was born in Xiliang, who were good at commanding cavalry battles, failed to play much role after taking refuge in Liu Bei, and had no chance to command the battle, probably because there were not many cavalry in Xishu for them to command and toss.
Therefore, generals like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao can't give full play to their best abilities, so they can only be hidden in the snow.
During the Three Kingdoms period, some generals fought on war horses, in addition to being able to use horsepower to kill during the battle, many times it was also for the convenience of commanding the battle.
After all, riding on a horse can be a head above others, you can see far, and you can quickly rush to some areas that need to be commanded.
But the general rode a war horse, and it was impossible to break away from the infantry under his command and challenge the enemy's army formation alone, so many times the general could not turn his army into cavalry even if he rode a horse.
However, as Zhu Wei, who has the soul memory of later generations, he naturally has great expectations for the cavalry, after all, from the battle mode of later generations, the cavalry has an absolute advantage over the infantry.
In particular, the Mangu tactics of the Mongolian cavalry can be used in a field battle to defeat the enemy's neat army formation, even if there is a crossbow array, it may not be able to resist the Mangu tactics.
In the early period of the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mangu tactics of the Mongol cavalry could almost be regarded as an invincible cavalry tactic in the field.
It was not until the late Yuan Dynasty that the quality of the Mongol cavalry declined, and the power of firearms gradually increased, so with the advantage that the range of bullets was longer than that of bows and arrows, and it was easier to train than archers, the Mangu tactics of the Mongol cavalry gradually lost the unrivaled advantage of long-range shooting like a kite.
This is also one of the reasons why the Ming Dynasty was able to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, and it was also one of the reasons why the Ming army could defeat the Yuan army.
But at least during the Three Kingdoms period, there would be no force that could have the ability to fight against Mangu's tactics in the field, so if Zhu Wei could train a light cavalry that controlled Mangu's tactics, and then give the horses horses' hooves, he would be absolutely invincible in the field.
After all, this is a cross-era cavalry tactic.
It's a pity that Zhu Wei can only think about it in his mind now, but there is no way to do it for the time being, at least Zhu Wei can't get a war horse now, and it is not suitable for large-scale cavalry combat in the south.
Zhu Wei put aside the idea of forming a cavalry for the time being, and his thoughts were also shifted away from the materials stored in his game system, and he thought about the current problem of taking Ling Cao and others to loot those gate lord clans.
With the experience of attacking the ancestral mansion this time, although the result seems to be smooth this time, the problem of trouble has actually been discovered.
Now Zhu Wei is dealing with these places, although only the high walls of the compound and the wall of the dock fort have been built, but this does not seem to be something that can be broken simply, otherwise he would not be able to be the emperor of the soil in the local area.
This time, he opened the ancestral mansion and opened the door with a trick, but what should he do next time.
Do you really have to rely on human life to attack the door and climb over the wall?
This is naturally not good, Zhu Wei couldn't help but think in his mind, and suddenly he thought of an idea, maybe he could build some simple siege equipment to resist the arrows, and then rush open the gate, or even directly climb over the wall to enter?
When Zhu Wei was writing historical texts before, he also looked for some information on siege weapons, such as ladder cars, nest cars, rushing cars, cave house cars, tiger cars, and the like.
However, most of the information on the Internet is just some simple introductions and simple pictures, to be honest, seeing these pictures of so-called siege weapons is really very different from the siege equipment that Zhu Wei originally imagined, but it also gives people a clear taste.
In fact, many siege weapons have one thing in common, that is, to protect the siege soldiers from being able to get close to the city walls safely, so many siege machines will make a space for the soldiers to hide in it, so as to avoid the bow and arrow attacks of the defenders......
